A top price for Klavdi Vasilievich Lebedev - as previously expected
In November 2005 Christies in London held the auction RUSSIAN PICTURES, which included the work The jester and the gusli player by Klavdi Vasilievich Lebedev. The price achieved of GBP 66,000.00 (€ 96,962.34) was within expectations - the estimate range had previously been set by the auction house as GBP 60,000.00 – 80,000.00. Even if this result could not surprise positively, The jester and the gusli player is the most expensive artwork by Klavdi Vasilievich Lebedev that we have observed at auctions so far.
Ein Spitzenpreis mit Ansage
Im November 2005 führte Christies in London die Auktion RUSSIAN PICTURES durch, in der auch die Arbeit The jester and the gusli player von Klavdi Vasilievich Lebedev zur Versteigerung kam. Der dabei erzielte Preis von GBP 66.000,00 (€ 96.962,34) lag im Rahmen der Erwartungen – die Schätzpreisspanne war von dem Auktionshaus zuvor mit GBP 60.000,00 – 80.000,00 angegeben worden. Auch wenn das Ergebnis damit nicht positiv überraschen konnte, ist The jester and the gusli player das teuerste Kunstwerk von Klavdi Vasilievich Lebedev, das wir bisher bei Auktionen beobachtet haben.
